I couldn't find this one anywhere on the internet, except for
a chord file. I found it hard to believe a great groove riff like
this hasn't been tabbed out. Anyway this is the riff that Dickey
Betts plays for the entire song, Duane Allman doubles the riff on
slide but it is a bit different since it's played on slide
and I don't know how to play it, the also eventually the two
guitarists break into a solo duel and I don't know how to do that
either, but this riff will get you jamming and it leaves room for
improvisation and solos and such. I didn't bother posting the lyrics.
But there is a chord file in guitartabs.cc that has the chords along
with the lyrics below them. Also the tabs below don't represent time
at all, listen to the song to get the correct rhythm.
Anyway it took me about 10 minutes so here she is...........
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/allman_brothers_band/no_way_out_tab.html ]
This riff is in standard blues in A, which means it follows the
traditional 12 bar, I IV V form.

A Riff X2
The song repeats itself over and over until eventually the end.
Get this riff down so you know it like the back of your hand then you
can play with a drummer or get another guitar player to do slide and
once you have the riff down you can do little variations on it,
like Dickey Betts does, and do some soloing and such. Have Fun!!!
